Aeronautics Facts & Figures

Aeronautics is one of the EU’s key high-tech sectors on the global market:
  • it provides more than 500,000 jobs and generated a turnover of close to EUR 140 billion (in 2013)
  • the EU is a world leader in the production of civil aircraft, including helicopters, aircraft engines, parts and components
  • the EU has a trade surplus for aerospace products, which are exported all over the world.

The industry is highly concentrated, both geographically (in particular EU countries) and in terms of the few large enterprises involved. Employment in the aerospace sector is particularly significant in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland and Sweden.


​Productivity is considerable and despite high employment costs, the sector is quite profitable. A sizeable share of value added is spent on research and development (R&D), which is reflected in an increasing number of patent applications.
